Four Boys, The Nats and A Good Time (Despite Losing)

The Home Team didn't win. But that's OK, we still had a really fun time this last weekend at the 'ol Ball Game. The Four Boys (and Mom) were there, and it was fantastic catching up with them. It's official, they are grown up and I'm old. But, I'm OK with that.

We tried a new mode of transport to the game: via Bike. It took us about an hour to traverse the 5 miles to the park, and I really enjoyed it. The usual Metro ride is fine and all, but I'd rather peddle then wait for the next train. As you can see, there was plenty of bike parking:

As if seeing the Boys, riding our bikes, and having a Kosher Schwarma weren't enough, I also saw this guy while we were riding home:

I do believe that's a Black Crowned Nigh Heron. It's hard to tell in the above photo, but he had awesome red rings in his eyes. Very spooky.
